Dear Lynbrook Families,
As we continue through this important time of the school year, we want to thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in helping our students succeed each day.
Teacher Appreciation Week
Next week, May 4-8, we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. Please take a moment to thank the teachers who show up each day to support, guide, and care for your children. Their dedication makes a lasting impact, and we truly could not do this work without them.
SOL Science Assessment
Our 5th grade students will take their Science SOL on Tuesday, May 5. Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and comes to school ready to do their best.
Attendance Matters
We are continuing to monitor our attendance closely. Our current chronic absenteeism rate is 15.4%, and we still have work to do to reach our goal of staying below 10% for the year. We need your help. Please send your child to school every day. Consistent attendance is critical, especially during testing season.
School Expectations
Please continue to reinforce our school expectations at home. We encourage all students to be safe, kind, and respectful each day. Having daily conversations with your child about these expectations helps build strong habits and a positive school environment.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our Lynbrook community.

 Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow. We All Belong Here!
In FCPS, we all belong. From the first day of school, to the last day of school, every child matters. If your student is having a hard time finishing the year strong and attending school, please contact a trusted adult at our school — a teacher, counselor, or administrator.

Additional Mental Health Resources
FCPS has resources available to support your child’s mental health. During after-school hours, parents and students who need additional support can use the 988 Lifeline to get free, confidential guidance from trained crisis counselors on how to best help someone experiencing a mental health challenge or crisis. You can call or text the number.
Recent reports have shared an 11% drop in suicides among young people since the rollout of 988. Please note, the hotline is not only for those experiencing suicidal ideation (or thoughts), it is also available for any mental health or substance abuse-related crisis and those with a loved one experiencing those crises or suicidal thoughts.
And as always, if your concern is an emergency, you should call 911.
